Integrating Paytia: A Comprehensive Guide to the Connection Points you must consider

Paytia provides secure payment solutions that integrate seamlessly with host systems, telephony, and payment gateways. This guide outlines the primary connection points and how businesses can utilise Paytia for a streamlined payment processing experience.

1. Host System Integration

Passing Transaction Information to Paytia

Paytia allows merchants to pass essential transaction details from their host database systems. This includes:

• Agent Details: agentID and AgentName

• Transaction Information: Amount to be charged, reference, and account numbers

• Customer Data: Names and addresses

• Custom: data fields

Implementing the Paytia API

The Paytia API enables developers to integrate Paytia's functionality into their applications. Key features include:

• Real-Time Status Updates: Paytia sends updates to the host application, using webhook messaging, to track transaction progress and outcomes.

• Pre-Populated Web Payment Forms: The integration can display pre-filled payment forms for agents, reducing manual entry and errors.

Benefits:

• Enhanced tracking with real-time feedback.

• Simplified workflows with pre-populated forms.

2. Telephony Integration

Capturing Payment Information via Call

Paytia supports telephony integrations using PSTN or SIP connections to facilitate secure payment data capture during calls. This system captures:

• Agent Information: Verifies the agent’s identity through their ID.

• Customer Payment Card Details: Ensures secure and compliant card detail entry.

How It Works:

1. The agent initiates the Paytia card capture service during the call.

3. The data is transmitted securely to the host system for processing.

Advantages:

• Secure payment capture directly from calls.

• Compatibility with standard telephony systems.

• The number of payment types required.

• Compatibility with eCommerce and telephone (MOTO) payment flows.
